'Breadth and depth of knowledge comes through on every page ... a veritable encyclopaedia ... the perfect book for any new arrival in the world of criminal justice ... more than useful to most people already in the system ...

If you are anywhere in the system and people expect you to know the answers: read this book and you will know them!'Childrenlaw UK Newsletter
